Are you all as stressed out as I am these days? In this episode, I'm analyzing the science behind stress from the perspective of the Stress Response Cycle, and how our sexuality plays into it. In addition, I'm going to discuss different ways to combat it from a holistic approach, including a thoughtful discussion on how mindful masturbation can be used as a tool to aid in wellbeing and stress managementment. As a bonus, this episode includes a 15 minute Chakra balancing body-scan guided medication to help you achieve a restful state of bliss at the end of the day. Get comfy and a settle-in for some serious self-care tonight!
